Famed Polish activist and Ex-President Lech Walesa once again harshly criticized Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his policies, calling him “demagogic” in an interview with Danish TV2. He also expressed his disappointment with current trends in Polish and Hungarian politics.

President János Áder (pictured on top) has called the first session of Hungary’s new parliament to be held on May 8, the president’s office said on Tuesday. He has asked Viktor Orbán, who topped the list of the Fidesz-Christian Democrats’ joint party list for the April 8 general election, to start talks on forming a government.

After the overwhelming victory of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party in Sunday’s Hungarian general election, what is being touted as the “largest protest of Hungarians to date” is being planned for April 14 at 5:30.p.m.

No matter the size of Fidesz’s mandate, the ruling party is not authorised to intimidate citizens, Gergely Karácsony, former PM candidate of the Socialist-Párbeszéd alliance, said in reaction to business weekly Figyelő’s list of people whom it called “George Soros’s mercenaries”.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has extended her “heartfelt congratulations” to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on his election victory and said Hungary could continue to count on Germany as a “reliable partner”, the PM’s press chief said on Tuesday.
